Trayvon martin, dwayne bryant. Hes also the author of the stop improving police and community relations. Thank you for joining us, dwayne. Youre now an activist focusing on tensions between police and people of color. You didnt become so until the death of your friend, trayvon martin. Remind viewers how trayvon died. Trayvon martin died in florida at the hands of a Security Guard told by Law Enforcement to stand down, not pursue, do not continue to assault this person and did not, but a vigilante himself. Dehumanized him and decided to take the law in his own hands and found not guilty. I know that has left a grave wound in your heart, his death. Youre turning it into action though and speaking out.

And you need to hear the community, not just the powerful speakers. Thank you very much, next speaker please. Greetings, supervisors, david elliot lewis. I am a cochair of the Mental Health board of San Francisco and i was also appointed to the mayors care Advisory Task force. Interestingly, both groups, both the commission and the task force, could not agree on lauras law. It was very devicible for both groups. Its been very devicible for my own community. Im a consumer as well. Its been like a fault line in the recovery community, dividing people. Supervisor campos, i want to thank you for your amendments. I think they actually improve the law as is stated. However, i would state what you are supporting is still ultimately a coercive process.
